How It Works

Features & Benefits

• Self-Cleaning

  Never scoop litter again: The Litter-Robot is fully automatic, using a patented sifting process that begins just minutes after your cat exits the unit. It’s easy to manage—just empty the waste drawer when indicated!

• Odor Control

  Litter box placement in your home is no longer an issue: The Litter-Robot sifts waste within minutes, and the carbon-filtered, fully enclosed waste drawer is designed to greatly reduce unpleasant odors.

• Multiple Cats

  Having multiple cats no longer equates to needing multiple litter boxes. One Litter-Robot is perfectly suited for up to four cats, and a consistently clean bed of litter is great for even the most territorial felines.

• Cleaner Paws

  Say goodbye to the unsightly litter box and dirty paws that track litter all over your house! The Litter-Robot provides your cat with a clean bed of litter after every use.

• Efficiency

  Save time by not having to scoop, and save money by not having to use as much litter:The patented sifting process only removes the clumps, preserving the clean litter and reducing usage by up to 50%!

 

 

Acclimating Your Cat

• Leave It Off

  Avoid startling your cat while he is adjusting to the new litter box. Leave the Litter-Robot switched off until you notice your cat has used the Litter-Robot. Wait about 7 minutes for the waste to clump, then turn it on. The Litter-Robot will automatically perform a cleaning cycle (lasting about 2 ½ minutes), then switch it off again. Continue this “semi-automatic” mode until your cat is comfortable and using it regularly.

• Use Treats Or Catnip

  This is a good trick if your cat has expressed some fear about entering the Litter-Robot. Place treats or catnip on the step and inside the globe. It may take several repetitions to get results, so be patient and consistent. Create a positive experience by offering praise and reassurance. We find this method is especially effective for those cats who are food-motivated.

• Make The Old Litter Box Less Attractive

  If your cat seems stuck in his ways, we don’t advise the “cold turkey” litter box switch. If you suddenly switch out the old litter box for the Litter-Robot, you’re likely to have protest puddles and an unhappy cat. Instead, place the Litter-Robot next to the old litter box and gradually make the old litter box less desirable by letting waste accumulate. Cats prefer a clean place to go, so this should motivate your cat to try the Litter-Robot. This works well in combination with the treats and catnip method mentioned above.

• Leverage What They Know

  The old litter box looks and smells familiar, so use that knowledge to teach your cat about the Litter-Robot. Gradually move the old litter box closer to the Litter-Robot (if you’ve placed them in different locations). Then, pour a scoop of the old litter on the new litter in the Litter-Robot, which will smell familiar to your cat. They recommend the bait-and-switch approach mentioned above, eventually removing the old litter box when it is soiled.

• The Good Ol’ Cardboard Box Approach

  Cats love empty cardboard boxes! Try covering the Litter-Robot with the original cardboard box. Carefully cut an opening in the side of the box for the entryway and a notch in the bottom to access to the drawer. Leave the Litter-Robot unplugged while covered with the box. Don’t worry, you won’t have to scoop! Once you notice your cat has used the Litter-Robot, wait about 7 minutes for the waste to clump, then plug it in. The Litter-Robot will automatically perform a cleaning cycle (lasting about 2 ½ minutes), then unplug it again.
